Time For A Charlie Chan Movie

From Monogram Pictures in 1946, here is Sidney Toler starring as Charlie Chan in "Dark Alibi."  In this one, three men are convicted of bank robbery, the main evidence against them being that their fingerprints were found at the scene.  However, Charlie Chan believes them to be innocent.  His investigation reveals that they are indeed innocent and that their fingerprints were forged and planted in the prison files to frame them.  Then, Charlie sets out to uncover the real bank robbers.  Mantan Moreland, Ben Carter, Benson Fong, Teala Loring, George Holmes, Joyce Compton, John Eldredge, Russell Hicks, and Tim Ryan were also in the cast.  With original screenplay by George Callahan, based on the character created by Earl Derr Biggers, this picture was produced by James S. Burkett and directed by Phil Karlson.

Enjoy!
